The thing is every thing I listed is also used by law enforcement. There is nothing stopping them from turning everything into a dragnet. We already know they use ring cameras, cell phones, tower data, etc to build a dragnet. Flock is just another player.

To be honest flock seem like the perfect distraction from the larger surveillance state we live in. I feel like most of the writing I have seen on this acts like this some new, disgusting, pervasive thing. The truth is law enforcement has been using everything available because there’s nothing stopping them from subpoenaing or straight buying the data.

The larger problem is law enforcement needs to be curtailed (good luck unless we bust their union which the pro-union left won’t do), and then cameras need to be removed from phones and homes.
